How to set background image on tkinter window

In this section we will be learning how to set background image to any tkinter image

steps:

1. Image object need to be created.
2. Create a label, and pass the image object created in step1.
3. while packing Label, assign BOTH(X and Y) to fill and pass YES to expand, so images can expand.
4. Step 3 is important to display background image, while placing Widgets on top of background image. 

below is the code to set background on main window, for the above screen-shot

 #program

 try :
     from Tkinter import *           # supports Python 2
 except:
     from tkinter import *           # supports Python 3


 mw = Tk()
 mw.title("AETies : Automation Expert Technologies")
 mw.geometry('550x150+10+50')
 
 pic = PhotoImage(file="./bg_2.png")
 lbl = Label(mw, image=pic)
 lbl.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=YES)

 mw.mainloop()

To place widgets on top of the background image, step 3 is mandatory.

Without step 3, background image will be set and visible until any widget is paced on top of that, the moment you place any widget, image will not be visible.
